Eucalyptus Apartments are part of a new communal apartment development located in the traditional village of Karavomylos, approximately 2km from the port town of Sami, and located in the same village as the famous Melissani Cave.

At only 10 meters from the Ionian sea, these self-catered apartments are perfect for those seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday. We have enjoyed consistent compliments and high rated reviews from our clients, and are fast becoming the de-facto standard for quality accommodation in the area. Each and every apartment has been professional designed, decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The selection of photographs provided are all true to form for each property.

Air conditioning, TV and Wifi are included as standard. We also provide full apartment cleaning twice per week, including fresh towel and bed linen replacement.

The development also includes a communal swimming pool, with sea views and underwater lighting. Free car parking is available around the whole development.

Within walking distance, there are several traditional taverns (the closest only 30 meters away), a mini-market, a bakery and a church. The nearest town is Sami, a few minutes drive, or a 20 minute walk along the beach. A traditional port town, with many tavernas and bars, as well as supermarkets, butcheries, green grocers, bakeries, pharmacy, ATM, medical centre; and all the other essentials for a comfortable stay. Also within a very short distance from the development are tennis courts, basket ball court and an astro-turf 5 a'side football pitch.

A small pebble beach is available only 10 meters from the complex, a larger organised beach (Karavomylos Beach) is only a 15 minute walk. Also available across the island are various activities, including but not limited to Horse Riding, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Swimming, Wine Tasting, Water Sports, Boat Rental and Fishing.

Due to this central location on the Island, few of the many places to visit are more than an hour's drive away. This includes Fiskardo to the north (1 hour), the famous Myrtos beach (30 mins drive) Skala (45 mins drive) the capital Argostoli (40 mins drive) and the airport (50 mins drive).

Due the size of the island, a rental car or scooter is highly recommended.

Upon arrival, the onsite manager will introduce you to the apartment, and provide welcome refreshments. Towels, extra linens and periodic cleaning are included in the rental cost. A tour of the complex will include details of places to visit, directions and any other help required.

Please note the standard check-in time of 14:00, and check-out time of 11:00. A 100 Euro damage deposit will be required at the time of arrival, and will be refunded at your departure, subject to an apartment inspection.

Perfect location & stunning apartment

From our initial contact with Mark to our arrival, he provided a friendly and efficient service. The apartment was exactly like the pictures, spacious, modern and extremely clean. Perfect location for exploring a beautiful island (with Mark's help). Waking up to the sound of the sea was a first and we can't wait to go back! Thanks Mark.

Guestbook comments from the manager

I can't recommend staying at the Eucalyptus apartments enough, and particularly Hibiscus. Mark Whitehouse was waiting for us as we arrived, and he was on hand any time we needed advice on where to go or where to eat. His title is sales manager, but he does so much around the place, and his recommendations were always spot on. We stayed for a little over two weeks, and every day had my children saying "this is the best holiday we've ever had." The apartment, itself, was huge and had A/C for those days when it was just too hot. It's cleaned every third day and they do an amazing job. There is a small swimming pool on site, but the Ionian Sea is just outside your doorstep. It's perfect for friends and family in every way. In terms of the apartment's placement, it's an easy walk into Sami, as well as very close to a number of nice taverna's in Karavomylos, especially Zervati and it's also walking distance to the Melissani cave and a fantastic bakery where you can get the most delicious leaven bread and a good, strong cup of coffee. If you have a car, then you can go just about anywhere, and again Mark will offer recommendations. On those days you want to stay in, the apartment has a nice sized cooker and oven, a huge fridge, and a dishwasher. There are no laundry facilities, but you can drop off laundry and have it delivered back all nice and clean, or simply hand wash it in the sink, and if it's August, it's dry within an hour. There is also a handy, little sandwich maker in the cupboard, which works perfectly for cheese toasties or just to make toast. The kitchen does need a few more preparation knives, since you only get a bread knife and one parring knife. Otherwise, although it is self catering, it is self catering plus! It has Wifi that was fast enough to check out places online, as well as email, or allow children/adults to play online games, plus there is a TV, too, although we weren't in the flat long enough at any one time to watch anything and if we were, we found the balcony to be a perfect place to sit and talk. The majority of surrounding shops do NOT take credit cards, so have some Euros on you when you go out. There is an ATM in Sami, and we never had any trouble getting money, so don't let the news stories scare you about coming to Kefalonia!

Location

From the Owner

“Fast becoming the highest quality and best maintained rental apartments in the area. Newly developed complex including modern furnishings and equipment. 10 meters from the sea, all but one of our rentals offer sea views.
Located in a traditional village, away from the hustle and bustle of the main town, but close enough to walk to across the beach.”

Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands off Greece's west coast, which also include Corfu, Lefkada and Zante (Zakynthos). The Island boasts excellent tourist resorts, the biggest being at Lassi, Poros, Skala and Sami. Smaller more laid back resorts are at Lourdata, Katelios, Assos, Argostoli, Lixouri and Fiscardo to name a few. The island is not only the largest amongst the Ionian Islands, but also features the highest mountain, Mount Ainos, which reaches a height of 1627 M, and covered with Kefalonian fir trees. On a clear day the summit provides stunning views of the neighbouring island of Zante (Zakynthos), Lefkada and Ithaca.

Kefalonia has long established credentials as one of the most beautiful places in the world, having received accolades from many high profile professional publications such as Forbes, who awarded Kefalonia the 4th place spot in the 'world's most idyllic places to live.The world famous Myrtos beach, the jewel of our island, lies not far away and is widely considered to be the finest beach in Greece,

Karavomylos is one of the regions of the island most blessed by the unspoilt beauty the area is famous for, with wonders both natural and man made close at hand. One of the many surprising gifts of nature to be found in Kefalonia, Lake Melissani is a stunning underground lake. Close to Karavomylos, only a half kilometre from the sea, this cave-lake has an open roof allowing the light to play on the surface of the water and cast vivid colours and reflections on the glistening walls of the cavern. Small boats circle the lake offering breath-taking photo opportunities of this natural phenomenon. Its Greek name 'cave of the nymphs' reinforces the widely held opinion of those who study the Greek Odyssey, that Lake Melissani is in fact Homer's Cave of the Nymphs, a place of mischievous magical creatures!

Tourists can expect to find a variety of activities across the island, from horse riding to hiking, snorkelling and scuba diving, watersports and boat rentals to name a few, or simply explore the islands many olive groves, vineyards, caves, churches and monasteries, and of course the many stunning beaches, including the world famous Myrtos beach, Antisamos beach, a popular beach only 20 minutes away, with taverns and beach bars. Whether you want a mountain trek, a dungeon crawl through an ancient castle, a tour through millions of years old caves with underwater lakes, kayaking around the island or just to relax next to the clean refreshing Ionian sea, Kefalonia can accommodate you in a way few other destinations can match.
